Magnitude, color and spectral type of Aql X-1 in quiescence
C. Chevalier, S. A. Ilovaisky, P. Leisy +1
Direct I and V-band imaging of Aql X-1 in quiescence and during outburst maximum shows that the true optical counterpart is the interloper located 0.48" West of the previously know…
Casimir scaling in glueballs in SU() and Sp() gauge theories: hints from constituent approaches
F. Buisseret, C. Chevalier, V. Mathieu +1
We show that the lattice glueball masses versus in SU() and Sp() Yang-Mills theories scale as , with t…
Pattern formation by injection of air in a non-Brownian suspension
C. Chevalier, A. Lindner, E. Clement
We study the injection of air in a granular suspension. We use a linear Hele-Saw cell filled with a suspension which is displaced by air, leading to a Saffman-Taylor (fingering) in…
Saffman-Taylor instability in a non-Brownian suspension: finger selection and destabilization
C. Chevalier, A. Lindner, E. Clement
We study the Saffman-Taylor instability in a non-Brownian suspension by injection of air. We find that flow structuration in the Hele-Shaw cell can be described by an effective vis…
Geometry-controlled kinetics
O. Bénichou, C. Chevalier, J. Klafter +2
It has long been appreciated that transport properties can control reaction kinetics. This effect can be characterized by the time it takes a diffusing molecule to reach a target -…
Facilitated diffusion of proteins on chromatin
O. Benichou, C. Chevalier, B. Meyer +1
We present a theoretical model of facilitated diffusion of proteins in the cell nucleus. This model, which takes into account the successive binding/unbinding events of proteins to…
